Its title, "His home over there," speaks to a soldier far from home, and the poster claims more than 2,000 such places for American servicemen in France, meaning the huts and canteens run by the YMCA and YWCA. Albert Herter designed it for the United War Work Campaign, a joint fundraising drive held November 11 to 18, 1918, which opened on the day the Armistice was signed. The Committee on Public Information's Division of Pictorial Publicity produced posters like this one to ask civilians at home to give to the welfare work that followed the troops to camp and front.
